By this time, all the professional advice given by our group members should help you to make up your mind and stick to your job without losing courage and with added determination. Please remember that in the Middle East, the labor rules are not in favor of employees in these matters, and you are always at the mercy of your superiors and bosses at the threat of losing your job. You must have heard that many of our employees are paid less than what they are promised, are told to do menial jobs than what was promised, face poor living conditions, and have their passports always kept with the employer, leaving no liberty for employees to switch over. Many live and work under similar and other stringent conditions without losing hope. This is because, back home, they have a family to look after, and many have borrowed money or taken loans to reach the Middle East. It appears from your situation that you are at least fortunate that you are not facing such severe hardships, for which you should be thankful to the Almighty.

Therefore, carry on for some more time until things settle down. You will become familiar with the situation and the people around you, and certainly, things will change for the better.

All the best, and God bless.

Dear Kumar,

One suggestion: do not think of leaving the job until you have another one in hand. I have been searching for a job in Dubai for the past few months, and the response has been very bad. So, be careful before making any decisions. As suggested by other senior members, try to enhance the required skills to make yourself stronger.

Dear Kumar,

First of all, you need to know that you have a wonderful opportunity to work in a foreign country. The beginning is always hard, but once you learn a job effectively, there are many ways to do it - I mean smart work. As others have said, please try to improve your communication skills. This will surely lead to a bright future ahead.

Hello Kumar,

I completely agree with the guidance of all other members, especially "tajsateesh." Such a positive approach towards work will help you a lot. If you are really not happy with the work, try to find a new opportunity as you have completed two years of service. You must have good experience. You can change your job, but don't resign before getting assurance of a new opportunity.

Hi Kumar,

There are things to learn from what you are experiencing. While I am not sure what politics you are talking about within your organization, a few things you said did strike me as areas where you can improve.

While you are right in expecting work and recognition, you must also learn that work and recognition are not something that you can demand; they are a result of hard work and humility.

Refusing to take up the reception post when you are just beginning was a mistake - you should've taken it up and shown them your willingness to learn at every position. Expecting a certain level of respect without earning it will always get you this kind of treatment. There are many stories of people rising from being janitors to becoming Vice Presidents in companies, and they have achieved it by realizing that being useful and humble is the only way you can secure success and security.

You are young, take it slow, be open to learning, and be useful to others.

I had a multi-millionaire relative who would always tell me, "If your job is to dig a hole, dig the best hole the world has ever seen."

Dear Kumar,

You and I have received a good suggestion from senior people. One thing is certain: if we don't learn HR-related activities, we will be limited to working as receptionists only. However, if we do learn HR-related activities, we will be in a much better position. This is because we can improve our communication skills and learn how to speak with others effectively.

Thank you.

Dear Kumar,

Here, we can improve the good communication skills. If we, as individuals, combine communication with knowledge from HR-related activities such as statutory regulations, payroll, and recruitment, we can definitely be in a good position. In the future, if we neglect studying these activities, we will never advance to a better position.

I am currently planning to secure a job in Dubai. Could you provide me with some suggestions on whether this would be beneficial for me or not?

Dear Kumar,

You mentioned that you learned a lot as well as gained experience from them, which is more important than anything. Your query will be resolved, and you will feel good after reading the book "The Alchemist."

Hello Kumar,

This thread has drawn many impressive thoughts since I first posted my views. Super Moderator Sid has brought out an excellent point about the dignity of work and the need to work with a sense of pride and belonging. Distinguish yourself in whatever you do as stated in the slide (posted by Mr. Sid as I had some problem loading the attachment) that carries a powerful message from a great human being and freedom lover.
